Daniil Simkin

Once upon a time in New York City, Alexander Ekman and Daniil Simkin departed on a creative journey that would span over several years and would result in several vignettes depicting a specimen named “Simkin” in various forms and in various ways in its different habitats. While the original “Simkin and the City” and “Simkin and the Stage” were created with Alexander, Daniil continued the the series with his own renditions of the idea throughout the pandemic.

It all started with “Simkin and the City” in summer 2013 where the aforementioned specimen took a stroll on the Upper West Side looking for vital performance opportunities.
